Funny Folks #12

Funny Folks #12 brings a cheerful holiday spirit to this February–March 1948 DC title, with Rube Grossman's cover depicting a cartoon wolf in a striped scarf clutching a polka-dotted gift bag as a pair of reindeer bound right past him across a snowy rooftop. Against a glowing full moon, the silhouette of Santa's sleigh and full reindeer team soars through the night sky, while a couple of anthropomorphic cartoon characters — a clown and a bundled rabbit — look on from the corners in wide-eyed delight. It's a warm, whimsical ten-cent package that captures the era's funny-animal charm at its most festive.
